I’ve decided to say only nice things about people until the holiday season ends. This is going to be tough, but here we go with the easy ones first. And, icing on the cake, forecasts for their future.
Beth Spotswood
Anyone who loves dad the way she loves hers is worthy of induction into the Dad Lovers Hall of Fame. Forecast: World-famous tender-hearted author.
Sweet Melissa
She’s so doggoned sweet, who could not like her? Forecast: World famous political commentator.
SF Willie
One of the nicest and smartest guys in town. Philosopher par excellence. Forecast: Makes the list of “Top Philosophers of the Year.”
Elaine Santore
Another “nobody could not like her” journalist. Forecast: Replaces Dan Noyes as Top Investigative Reporter of the Year.
Dan Noyes
The Newster’s Nemesis. Forecast: Finally traps his target and gets that interview.
h. Brown
Anyone who went to the Navy’s Morse code school is not only intelligent but hides a heart of gold beneath his gruff exterior. Forecast: Mayor of SF.
Alexandra Jones
Wordsmith nonpareil. Forecast: She won’t stay in Philadelphia.
Ruby
Stupefyin’ Jones personified, but where life really counts, she’s kind, considerate, tactful, and just plain nice. Forecast: An exceptionally bright future.
Alix Rosenthal
Anyone with the guts to drive from SF to Oakland five days a week just to go to work can rule the world. Forecast: SF DA.

Can’t get enough of that wonderful stuff. Forecast: World’s best preserved grandmother.
Now the going gets a little tougher.

(Veins popping, sweat dropping from my chin, strangled breathing, struggling to get it out) He’s in Iowa. Forecast: Marries an Iowa farm girl, raises chickens.
Nancy Pelosi
Believes in the Golden Rule, the one that says “If you believe I’m a Democrat, I’d like to sell you the Golden Gate Bridge.” Forecast: Becomes Chairman, Republican National Committee.
Dianne Feinstein
Always sociable. Her standing invitation, “Waterboarding anyone?” Forecast: Introduces Dianne’s Designer Waterboards franchise.

Wow. Tiring. Posts will be sporadic until the holidays end.
In the meantime, DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!
I love Nany Pelosi’s golden rule. lol
Williem good to see you are out of your hibernation phase. I thought the Nancy one was good, too. One out of ten is success. r.s.
No, I’m not staying in Philadelphia. That one was easy. The real question is, am I staying in San Francisco? What’s your forecast on that?

Hi, AX, San Francisco sounds like the right place for you. With guys llike h, around, the place sounds comfortable. But sometimes change is good even if it is tempirary. You can always return. As I often say, the heart doesn’t reside in a temporary way station. r.s.
Shucks! Me and my dad thank you. I’ll have you know, I’m taking cabs religiously thanks to your gentle holiday reminders. I’m not giving up the eggnog, but I’ll happilly give up looking for parking…
Hi, Beth, thanks for the comment. I always knew you had a heart as soft as an angel’s. r.s.
